But it probably won’t be. Because the chances that Adu, 24, actually catches on with the mid-table Championship side (the Championship is England’s second tier) seem pretty slim.

If he couldn’t make an impact at Philadelphia (the most recent MLS stop), and couldn’t last more than a few months for Bahia in one of Brazil’s lower tier state leagues, he’s going to be a longshot to catch on with a club in England, where the establishment and supporters frequently value hard work and tackling in the midfield as much as technical craft. That sure ain’t Adu’s game.

That Savarese guy said it best: It’s not that he flopped or just burned out. It was, because he was overrated at a desperate time in MLS. The quality was too low and the league needed something special.

When he returned from Turkey’s 2nd tier to Philly I said he should have stayed in Turkey. I think the best place for him to be is Mexico’s 2nd div. The attacking, open, but structured style that’s the foundation of Mexican soccer would or would have been, as it’s too late, a perfect match for him. Oh well, like water under a bridge …

Have not seen Freddy on field lately, but look at film of when he was with Philly and he was the best midfield server they have ever had. PU lacked offense for the season, Freddy would have provided that. Freddy’s issues are not talent, bad management and entitlement attitude possibly. Some say he doesn’t track back, BS. No one on PU can dish like he could.
